@doctorbrainbarbie: The migraine attack doesn’t necessarily end when the pain stops. 🧠⚡️ Many patients experience a postdrome phase, often called a “migraine hangover,” where the brain is still recovering after the attack. Brain fog, exhaustion, slowed thinking, sensitivity to light or sound, feeling emotionally “off” or even flu-like symptoms can all happen during this phase. Migraine is a complex neurological disorder, not “just a headache.” And for many patients, recovery is part of the attack too. 💖 ⚠️ Disclaimer: This content is for educational and informational purposes only.

Having chronic migraine I don’t feel like I ever get out of this cycle. It’s either a day or days with a migraine attack or days with the the hangover

The fog and the fatigue are intense and once the pain is away everyone expects you to act “normal” when you feel like you just walked out of a car wreck

I can so relate! I LOATHE ENTIRELY (in my Jim Carry [the Grinch] voice) the migraine hangover. I literally feel like I’ve been hit by a truck and just got off a rollercoaster.

Yesssss!!!! 16 days of pain and then an almost 2 day ‘hangover’. Today is the first day in weeks that I could actually function like a human. Migraines and Chiari malformation suck!!!

I call it the FAFO era, one wrong loud noise, to much light a storm coming in and just like that it can return. Living in Florida surrounded by water on three sides any storms around are huge triggers for me. So I feel like my head is on a swivel.

My migraine hangovers are marked by fogginess and intense head pressure when bending over. 2nd day post-migraine is just fogginess
